Abstract: A valve in which an elastic member (26) containing a normally closed slit (28) is adapted to be selectively stretched by displacement of an actuating means, such as to stretch open the slit (28) over the outlet end (27) of a product discharge passage defined by a tube (24) and allow fluid product to be dispensed therefrom, release of the actuating means allowing the elastic member, and hence the distorted slit (28) to return to its original configuration, thereby reclosing the outlet end of the passage. The actuating means comprises a pair of relatively pivotable actuating members (30a, 30b) relative angular displacement of which is adapted to stretch open the slit (28) in the elastic member (26) over said outlet end (27) of the product discharge passage defined by the rigid tube (24). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A suture block is a device used to secure surgical sutures, without using knots. By securing the thread with a suture block, it is possible to close a suture in a contact with the tissue, without damaging or mortifying the latter, and without provoking ischemia in the tissue which is compressed by the loop of thread needed to tie a traditional surgical knot. This means that the surgeon no longer has to change the disposition of the operational field at each knot and can avoid having to put down the forceps or the needle-holder, in order to tie a normal knot, thereby saving time. Moreover, far less thread is required and most importantly, the pain caused by the knotted thread which damages and constricts the tissue, is significantly reduced.

Abstract: A bending centre has a bending cell (10), a charging device (12) with an insertion table for receiving a sheet metal part (14) to be inserted, and a manipulator (30) for gripping the sheet metal part, moving and rotating it. In order to improve the bending centre so that the sheet metal part can be handled with as few errors as possible in charging times as short as possible, the charging device has a sensor (66) for determining the position of the sheet metal part relatively to a defined entry position (16, 20 a to d) into the bending cell. The charging device has a control (38) which controls how the manipulator for handling the sheet metal part moves it in the first (X) and second (Y) directions and rotates it around the axis of rotation (D) depending on the position of the sheet metal part determined by the sensor, so that the manipulator introduces the sheet metal part into the bending cell in the precisely defined entry position.

Abstract: A process and installation (1) are claimed for the sterilisation of medical products by irradiation. Products are carried on conveyors (10-21) from a loading station (2) to an unloading station (4), via a casing (6) containing the irradiation station (7). The products are rearranged near the irradiation station. Products are marked with an identification code and are carried on the conveyor on trays, also marked with identification codes. These codes can be read by scanners at various points around the circuit to monitor progress. <??>Three conveyors are arranged in series in the irradiation station. The first and second consist of pairs of chains carrying retractable fingers. When these are extended, they draw products along the conveyor at exactly the same speed as which it is moving, ensuring consistent treatment time. <??>The first conveyor moves slightly slower than the other two. The second is split into two half conveyors, with the sterilising rays being emitted between them. The third conveyor moves faster than the other two, taking products away from the treatment zone without a bottle neck. As the conveyors (11-13 and 18-20) enter and leave the treatment casing (6) one is positioned directly above the other. Ramps are used to raise and lower the levels, as the loading and unloading stations (2 and 4) are at the same level.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream that includes at least one pair of aligned orifices (22, 28) coupled to sources (12, 40) of core and casing glass such that glass flows by gravity from the sources through the aligned orifices to form a cased glass stream. The orifices are carried by an orifice housing (44) mounted on a frame (46) for movement into abutment seating engagement of the orifice housing against the core and casing glass delivery mechanisms. The frame in accordance with the present invention includes a gimbal mounting arrangement (56 to 68) mounting the orifice housing to the frame so as to be pivotable about a pair of pivot axes (64, 70) that are orthogonal to each other and to the axis of alignment of the orifices. This gimbal mounting arrangement helps accommodate misalignment between the seating surfaces (72, 76) on the orifice housing and the glass delivery mechanisms, and to reduce glass leakage during operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method uses high resolution glass fiber tapering unit (1) with larger (2) and smaller (3) end surfaces. The larger surface at least matches the test surface of the sample carrier (4), and the smaller surface at least matches the dimensions of image sensor (6). Ratio of surfaces (2,3) gives the reduction measure of the imaging optics, such that the whole test surface (4) is pictured by image sensor. The flat sample carrier is a micro titration plate (4) with a number of holes to hold the signal-emitting test material (5). The image sensor (6) has an image amplifier and a video camera to convert the amplified image into electronic signals. The glass fiber tapering unit (1) gives a complete and reduced image of the micro titration plate (4) for the entry window of the image amplifier. The image amplifier is a bialkali photo cathode, with a spectral sensitivity of less than 1% at wavelengths of more than 700 nm. The micro titration plate (4) is in a sliding drawer holder, with horizontal and vertical movements. After its horizontal insertion into the apparatus, it is raised vertically until the larger surface (2) of the tapering unit (1) is in direct contact with the plate (4) surface. The smaller surface (3) of the tapering unit (1) is in direct contact with the entry window of the image amplifier. The entry window, at the image amplifier, is a glass fiber plate, to transfer the image directly to the following photo cathode of the image amplifier. To minimize reflection losses, the air space between the tapering unit (1) and the entry window is filled with an oil film, with a refraction index matching the refraction index of the tapering unit (1). The micro titration plate (4) has an optically transparent base. The plate holder is a frame structure, with a lamp under the plate (4) to give fluorescent excitation to the material being held in the plate (4) for study, giving a bundled light at an angle to the optical axis. The whole apparatus can swing by 180 degrees round a horizontal axis. The measurement system has an additional micro pipette system, with the separate pipettes aligned with the test holes in the micro titration plate (4).

Abstract: A continuous fiber band(14) enters an extruder feed opening(18) parallel to and tangential to one of the two screw shafts and is coated with plastic film(10,11) from both sides, one side coated directly, the other indirectly. The coated rovings are then wrapped around the screw shafts(4,5) and driven forward in a feeding and impregnating section of the screw bores(2,3). Impregnated rovings are then cut to prescribed lengths in a short discharge section. An Independent claim is made for the plasticizing extruder(1) with twin bores(2,3) divided into a feed and impregnating section and a discharge section. The bore diameter in the feeding and impregnating section is enlarged by  NOTLESS  four times the thickness(S) of the roving band(14). One or two coating dies(12,13) are located above the extruder barrel feed opening(18) which runs parallel to the screw axes(6,7). The discharge section has a cutting edge at the inlet and bores with reduced diameter compared to those in the feeding and impregnating section. Preferred Features: The plastic film coating(10,11) may also be applied from just one side of the flat roving band, either directly onto the band on one side or indirectly on the other side by pressing the roving band into a flat side of the film. The fiber band is wound several times around the extruder shafts(4,5) and driven forward. Band windings may overlap.
